This fantastic article clearly summarizes the appalling,
egregious cruelty toward animals destined for food. Without proper
laws that should, at least, make sure they suffer as little as
possible, farmed animals are at the mercy of a system that truly and
sadly is incapable of showing mercy. From mutilations without
anesthesia to intense confinement and a slow, painful agonizing
death, farmed animals suffer unimaginably simply for taste and
profit. What’s incredibly atrocious is that the livestock industry
is a form of legalized torture.

How terribly God’s animals suffer at the hands of humanity!
These creatures rely entirely on our capacity to feel compassion and
love, which in reality is our essence. This essence, however, has
been buried by our reluctance to respect the God-given rights of
animals. Fortunately, we all can connect and bring out our true
essence of love by recognizing that every sentient being shares this
same essence; and that therefore, we are all interconnected.
